Coronavirus: Football Discussion Thread

Regardless, Sky and BT won't want to be the reason some clubs collapse. They'll push the boundaries to get their payday but I just can't see them crippling the leagues. It would be a prime case of cutting your nose off to spite your face

Especially with the likes of Amazon and/or Netflix interested.

If they scrap VAR now mid season how would a club feel if they got relegated because of an offside goal was given whereas it would previously have been spotted

it’s now too ridiculous to even take any resumption seriously and I’m bailing out for the rest of this season

That really is a great point.. One for the legal team whoever gets relegated should it happen

So if the fa are going to ask government for home and away fixtures. What's the chance they will let them do it

The LFC Echo need to prioritise things in life

It was supposed to be two or three clubs according to the press.

Hmmm...interesting. It appears that the PL will lose between 300-350 mill TV money even if they can finish the season as the ‘product’ isn’t as contracted. This has led to some clubs questioning the rationale behind even trying to finish it.

Stood on the kippax in 1992 I turned to my mate and said this shit will be the death of football and BSkyB would rather teams play in front of that, I pointed to the wooden fence where the platt lane used to be. The Tv companies don’t wont us here they’d rather us be at home spending our cash on their dishes. It’s 28 years since the cheer leaders, fireworks, Gerry Ratherty (was it him or a cover band) and a drab draw against qpr all faded into memory but my prediction is finally coming true.

The TV companies, the FA and some clubs don’t give a shit about the match going supporter they like uefa care more about the sponsors name on the pitch side boards or the bloke in Norway or Singapore whose willing to pay top price to watch his team sat in front of his giant tv whilst wearing his rag top and holding his Liverpool beer glass which contains a beverage from the preferred drinks partner of the club/association.

What happens if the season goes ahead behind closed doors do they help the clubs down the ladder whose gate receipts is there only means of staying afloat or do they just abandon them because the premier league is more important than they are.

So basically pay back between £17-£18 mill for each club,be worth it to see the scousers not lifting the league title . ;-)
